The room we rented was a double room in a shared house on the second floor. It was very spacious, with a beautiful view from the window, and the bathroom in the room was modern, very clean, and felt quite new. The breakfast was also very good, with plenty of options to choose from, including boiled eggs, very tasty bread, butter, cheeses, sliced meats, and yoghurt with different toppings.

“Authentic Icelandic Stay”
This stay was amazing :). The personal is really nice, we stayed for 3 days here to discover properly the area. The views are amazing from this point and there is a lot of nature. It feels pure and it is a great experience we would recommend! The breakfast was also great, and they also offer dinners!!

Beautiful location in a calm natural environment. You can see the glacier from the guest house. I booked a room with a shared bathroom: the room had a convenient small sink, the shower and toilet were in a separate shared bathroom. The bathroom was very clean, but I think it is unsufficient for the number of people that share it. The restaurant offers some options for dinner if you don't want to drive to town and breakfast is rich and delicious

“Very confortable”
The receptionist was very nice and propose to us to eat even when the kitchen was about to close. The room was a small lodge with everything needed and a little bit apart from the rest. Thank you very much
